Thanks for all the great advice, I’m going to a local dealer here in Denver Monday and see what they offer .
Everytime I have had the car there it has caused a lot of interest, but you guys have all experienced that already!!

I've only seen one sc430 on the road since we moved to monument. The sc430 is a rare bird here, it's definitely not a magpie.

Did you buy it new? If it is as nice as you say on the east coast that car will bring 25k at a wholesale dealer auction. I purchased my 07 low mileage from a private party for 20k in April and have turned down 25k offers from dealers. Send along some detailed picture and zip code where its located.

The only reason I'd trade a car in is if I knew there was something seriously wrong with it. NO way I'd sell a car with a significant mechanical issue to a private party. Dealers will take most cars and send to auction where prices are heavily discounted and business buyers know that auction cars will often need repairs before selling.
I ran my last car into the ground and took it to CarMax. I seriously would have paid them to dispose of it, although I figured if I had to pay them more than $100, I would just park it in the sketchy area of town with the keys in it. CarMax actually gave me $1,000, and I slept well figuring whoever bought it at auction would part it out and make a profit. But karma is important so I respect your "no lemons to a private party" rule.
